#ARIN IP LOOKUP REGISTRATION#
A regional internet registry (RIR) is an organization that manages the allocation and registration of Internet number resources (IP addresses & AS numbers) within a particular region of the world. The IANA assigns ASNs to regional internet registries (RIRs).

The standard organization is responsible for maintaining information like IP address, root zone management in DNS, ASNs allocation, and other Internet Protocol-related symbols and Internet numbers. Globally, Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is responsible for managing and oversees the global IP address allocation.
